Animal Crossing: New Leaf Surpasses One Million Sales

When Animal Crossing: New Leaf was released in Japan, demand was so high that physical copies of the game sold out, while eShop download sales returned some rather impressive results. Subsequent weeks have remained solid, with the latest Media Create results showing that the title has passed the one million landmark while still topping the software charts. That said, Capcom may be disappointed with a modest début for E.X. Troopers — lifetime sales are in parenthesis.

Another happy week for Nintendo in its homeland, and with Wii U selling in North America and due imminently in Europe, Satoru Iwata and his colleagues will be hoping for a strong Holiday sales performance worldwide.

Welsh ex-pat Tom is responsible for the day-to-day running of the site. He's the guy to thank for the generally brilliant nature of the content which massages your eyeballs on a daily basis. Also has an unhealthy obsession with all things Bowser.

@RupeeClock I know right? I wonder how many people from America are importing them from Play Asia
Although I wonder if people are starting to DL Nintendo games and just buying COD to "test" if they like it and if they don't they can resell

@RupeeClock Call of Duty is actually a pretty big PS3 franchise over there, sort of like how Resident Evil is pretty big outside of Japan. Don't worry though; I have no doubt that Pokemon will have far superior legs.

Capcom sure is going to be disappointed for the poor sales of E.X. Troopers, hopefully they'll decide to bring the game to the west trying to increase them... oh wait, they'll probably find too risky and expensive to add some english subtitles and release it on the eShop only.True story.

Nintendo for the win that will show people nintendo is the best market for games. I have never played call of duty and never will because it seems to repetitive. I want this so bad right now in America.

And that other title (What was it's name, X zone? You know the rpg made by Capcom, Namco Bandai and Sega?) isn't that succesful either in Japan. Are Japanese 3DS owners really punishing Capcom? You would almost think so!

Also E.X. Troopers not doing so well right now, just kinda like Project X zone, maybe if they brought games like that over here in the U.S/U.K and other places in the world, then maybe those sales would increase.

Also my sister, a big professor layton fan is kinda sad that Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney has not be announced to be released over seas (hint, hint)

Sad to see more hardcore titles that usually do well in JP not sell well.It sucks being a 3DS owner in the states. All we get is 10 iterations of Horsez 3D with a few good games sprinkled now and then. I dare say GBA and DS had alot more quality games by this point. Oh well AC:NL looks good.
